Ordering Information

Biological Activity

Ac-DEVD-CHO is a potent aldehyde inhibitor of Group II caspases, demonstrating high affinity for caspase-3 (Ki = and caspase-7 (Ki =, with weak activity against caspase-2. By reversibly inhibiting these key executioner caspases, Ac-DEVD-CHO blocks pro-apoptotic substrate cleavage and attenuates the downstream apoptotic cascade, effectively preventing programmed cell death in various cellular models.

FAQ
Q: Why does a DMSO stock precipitate in media/saline?
A: It is caused by unheated aqueous media (supersaturation), local solvent shock, or incorrect mixing sequence.
How to fix it?
  • Preheat media/saline to 37°C.
  • Mix rapidly (pipette/vortex) upon addition.
  • For complex mixes, always add the aqueous phase last.
  • Re-dissolve minor precipitates with a 37°C water bath and sonication (≤30 min).
